Jeremy shoved Corinne away as if he was struck by lightning."Don't… Don't touch me!"He used up what little strength he had to say that, and he was wheezing as if his oxygen was running out.Corinne moved closer to him again. "What's the matter? I just saved you, yet you act like I disgust you? Don't you think that's very ungrateful of you?"Jeremy said nothing. He simply lowered his head as if he was holding back something.Corinne was confused and was about to reach out to raise his face when Lucas stopped her."Mister Lucas, don't stop me! Something's wrong with Jeremy, and I have to know what it is!"Lucas looked down at her. "You're a mother of four children, yet you can't tell what's wrong with him?"Corinne frowned with confusion. "You can tell?"Lucas glanced at Jeremy coldly. "He must've been drugged, causing him to have a strong physical reaction. He's trying very hard not to lose his composure right now."Corinne suddenly broke away and leaned against Jeremy, who

Corinne frowned when Jeremy refused to look at her. She held his face firmly with both hands, bent down, and rested her forehead against his. He had no choice but to look at her."Look at me!"His forehead was burning hot, and his whole body trembled the moment their eyes met. Corinne was simply too close for comfort.Just when he was about to push her further away, Corinne said, "Don't move! You're already like this, and you still don't know how to behave?"His eyes became even more bloodshot with embarrassment. "L… Leave me alone!"Corinne smirked. "Are you shy? What are you going to do after I go out?"He gritted his teeth, hating that he did not have any strength. Otherwise, he would have spanked her.Corinne stroked his cheek lightly. "You silly man. You don't have to be shy with me. After all, you've done much dirtier things to me before."Jeremy was speechless. 'Doesn't she know she's playing with fire now?'Corinne narrowed her eyes when she saw Jeremy sweating profuse

The sound of a phone ringing brought Maxwell back to the present. He looked at Sunny, who goofily blushed and smiled at his phone."Who's texting you?" he asked.Sunny snapped out of his thoughts and stood up. "Ahem! I'm going out for a while to call a friend, Dad. I'll come back later to tell you more about Corinne."After that, he did not even wait for Maxwell's response before striding out of the room with his phone in his hand.Maxwell had his fair share of such experience, and he knew it was a woman.'Even Sunny has a girlfriend, yet Lucas is still living his life like a monk. That boy is already thirty years old, and I've never ever seen him with a woman before… Maybe it's because of what happened to me and his mom that he doesn't believe in love,' thought Maxwell with a sigh.…Sunny left the ward, asked the bodyguard at the door to keep a close eye on Maxwell, and walked to a quiet place to make a phone call.It was Xante who texted, asking how his father was doing.

Xante arrived at Central Hospital 20 minutes later. She got out of the car and ran quickly to the elevator in the underground parking lot. Unexpectedly, she met an acquaintance as soon as she entered the elevator.It was none other than Sophia, the bane of Corinne's existence.Sophia had just had her face done at the beauty salon, and she smelled so strongly of beauty products that the whole elevator was filled with her smell!Sophia was looking down at her phone when Xante got in the elevator, so she did not notice her. Moreover, she was going from the basement floor to the first floor, so she got out of the elevator very quickly.Xante followed Sophia out of the elevator and saw how she walked toward the most quiet corridor. She thought it was strange that Sophia would appear in the hospital but decided to not think too much about it since she came alone. Thus, she got back into the elevator and headed upstairs to find Sunny.At that moment, Sunny received a message from Xante a

Sunny made his voice sound hoarse when he said, "I don't know. Maybe the wound opened up again when I moved my arm to call you."Xante frowned and looked at him sternly. "You idiot. You should've used your good arm to call me instead!"Sunny pouted pitifully. "I was in a hurry to call you, so I didn't think too much about it…""Haha—ahem, ahem!"The sound from the sofa caught Xante's attention. When she looked up, she found a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.Maxwell could not fight back his laughter. He did not expect Sunny would put on such a show in front of a woman. It was a pity that Sunny was not an actor, or he would have won the 'Best Actor' award.Xante roughly guessed who the middle-aged man was by how similar he looked to Sunny."You must be Mister Maxwell. Forgive me for not noticing you," said Xante, slightly flustered.Maxwell waved nonchalantly. "It's okay, don't mind me. You two can continue chatting."Xante did not know what to say.Sunny did not seem to c
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1684
Seeing Sunny's reaction, Xante's suspicion was basically confirmed."Okay, I won't call the doctor." She sat on the chair next to the bed. "But how about I open up the bandage to check how the wound is doing?"Sunny's face froze. "Uh… I don't think that's necessary. I'm really okay, Xante."Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and said seriously, "You won't let me or the doctor check your wound, so I can't help but think you're not injured at all."Sunny blinked and immediately looked away. "Of course I'm injured! Why would I be lying here if I'm not injured?"Xante stared at him coldly. "Okay, you said you were injured, right? I'm going to check the hospital's emergency records to see if you're on the patient list!"Xante stood up, turned, and walked out of the room.Sunny knew his cover was blown, so he quickly sat up on the hospital bed and said, "Xante! Don't go. I admit I was lying! You were right… I wasn't injured at all…"Xante stopped and turned to glare at him. "Why

No backing out at this point.Xante sighed helplessly and said, "Please don't trouble yourself over it, Mister Maxwell. It's more important for you to prioritize recovery, and I shouldn't even be here to bother you in the first place."Maxwell shook his head and smiled. "Nonsense. You have no idea how much better I feel to know Sunny has a girlfriend."Xante bowed a little and said, "I'll be leaving now, but I'll come back another day to visit you."After that, she turned and walked out of the room.Seeing that, Sunny quickly said to Maxwell, "Dad, I'm going to see her off.""Sure, go ahead," said Maxwell with a nod and a smile."Are you going to be okay?" asked Sunny worriedly.Maxwell knew what Sunny was referring to, so he nodded and said, "Yeah. I promise I won't do anything stupid again."Relieved, Sunny quickly ran out of the ward.Sunny managed to catch up to Xante in the hospital corridor. He grabbed her arm and said, "Xante, why are you leaving so quickly? Why not st

Somehow, Xante got a really bad feeling about the whole thing, so she quickly whipped out her phone to call Corinne. However, no one answered.She called the Holdens' mansion and asked whether Corinne was at home, to which she was told no.The bad feeling Xante had intensified. She put away her phone and quickly asked Sunny, "When did the boss leave the hospital?"Sunny thought about it and answered, "About an hour before you came. Lucas was the one who sent her home. Why do you ask?"Xante frowned. "Call your brother now. Ask him if the boss is with him. Hurry!"Sunny did not understand why Xante was in such a panic, but he still did as he was told. He called Lucas even though he did not dare to call him for fear of getting lectured. However, Lucas did not pick up the phone either.Xante had guessed what was going on when she saw Sunny was silent. "He's not picking up, is he?"Sunny nodded. "Yeah. What's the matter, Xante? Is something bothering you?""I saw Sophia in the elev

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2933
Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2931
"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
